Hello guys, I hope that someone can acutally help me with this. I spent about 3 months trying to figure this out. (Of course i did not even think of this place, never found it before).

Anyway, I'm using a 3rd party bootloader to load four differnt operating systems. I have XPhome, XPPro, Win98, and linux mandrake. (i know i know). Anyway, I have to use the windows bootloader to boot to my XP OSs. I just want to use the one with linux. So I have it to load the XP OS, and a get a but load of errors. I basicly need XP to think that it is the only OS on the HD. I want it to be C: and not see the other OS partitions. I have the bootloader set so depending on the selection of partition, the other OS partitions are hidden. I know how to do this with a fresh install, but I can not lose ANY data

thanks
